WWE Raw: Sheamus speared through table by Roman Reigns
Irishman and Big Dog collide in 16-man tag-team affair
Tuesday 8 December 2015 11:44, UK
Roman Reigns sent Sheamus crashing through a table on Raw ahead of the pair's TLC title match in Boston on Sunday night.
The Big Dog challenged the world champion to a fight in the closing stages of Monday's show, a dustup Sheamus agreed to once tables, ladders and chairs had been removed from the ring.
Reigns and The Celtic Warrior hurled each other into the barricades before the brawl spilled over into the crowd, but the Juggernaut stuck the decisive blow by spearing the Dubliner into timber.
Reigns had also bested Sheamus earlier in the night during a 16-man elimination tag-team match that pitted himself, Dean Ambrose and The Usos against Sheamus and his League of Nations, The Wyatt Family and an ECW originals gang swelled by the returning Rhyno.
The former Shield Superstar speared the Irishman to secure the win after Tommy Dreamer had clocked Erick Rowan with a DDT to off The Wyatt Family and Sheamus had cracked Bubba Ray Dudley with a Brogue Kick to conquer the ECW mob.
Dreamer enjoyed less success in his one-on-one scrap with Wyatt Family member Braun Strowman - The Innovator of Violence crushed by a bear hug - as he gears up to team up with The Dudley Boyz and Rhyno against The Wyatts in an elimination Tables Match at TLC. CLICK HERE TO ORDER TLC
Elsewhere on Raw, TLC opponents Paige and Charlotte came to blows on MizTV after the Briton slapped her rival's father, Ric Flair, while Ambrose threw soda and popcorn in Kevin Owens' face following the Canadian's hard-fought victory over Dolph Ziggler.
Ryback and Rusev's encounter ended in a double count-out when Lana feigned injury to allow her Bulgarian fiancé to administer the Accolade on The Big Guy outside the ring, while Sasha Banks and Naomi overcame Brie Bella and Alicia Fox in tag action.
Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio walloped each other with steel chairs - something will do again on Sunday in a Chairs Match for the United States Championship - after The Real American forced Stardust to tap out.
Plus, The Lucha Dragons defeated WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day in a non-title match when Kofi Kingston was distracted by The Usos attacking Xavier Woods at ringside.
